I recently purchased a Merlyn Mk20 with super tall (28") roll hoop as measured front the top frame tube to the the top of the roll bar.
Can anyone tell me what the standard roll hoop height for Mk20 should be?

I know the 2" rule. Just want to know what the height of the Merlyn roll bar was when the cars were built.
Thanks in advance

At least 2 in over the top of your helmet when you are in driving position. That is unless you are just planning to have a show car.

Hi, 23" is the dimension you are looking for. I'm 6'1" and enough spare.
Just remember it never hurts to have to high of rear hoop until you need it. Just trying to get buy is not always the safe thing to do.

I found this with paperwork that came with my car. Thought it might help someone someday.
